What Are the Symptoms of Scoliosis?

Despite many studies, the exact cause of scoliosis has not been identified. Parents cannot influence its development. It is observed in about 1.5% of school-aged children. The curvature often becomes more noticeable during puberty growth spurts.

Typical signs include:

• Shoulder asymmetry

• Uneven scapula (shoulder blade protrusion)

• Uneven or prominent hips

• Noticeable gap between arm and torso on one side

• Head not aligned with the pelvis

• Rib hump visible when bending forward
